OSINT tool to extract info about persons from git repositories: common names, emails, matches between different (as it may seems) accounts.
Using Install git
Run:
<div class="snippet-clipboard-content position-relative overflow-auto" data-snippet-clipboard-copy-content=" # from any git url ./gitcolombo.py -u https://github.com/Kalanchyovskaia16/newlps # from directory, recursively ./gitcolombo.py -d ./newlps -r # from all GitHub personal/org repos by nickname ./gitcolombo.py –nickname LubyRuffy”>
# from any git url ./gitcolombo.py -u https://github.com/Kalanchyovskaia16/newlps# from directory, recursively ./gitcolombo.py -d ./newlps -r
# from all GitHub personal/org repos by nickname ./gitcolombo.py --nickname LubyRuffy
For batch cloning from Gitlab and Bitbucket group repos you can use ghorg .

What’s the difference between git author and committer? TL;DR
author wrote the code (make the patch) commiter commit it to the repo (rewrite history, make pull/merge requests…) Nice explanation: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/18750808/difference-between-author-and-committer-in-git
Very often developers make inaccurate commits with the one name/email (e.g. work account), then change to the right (e.g. personal account) and make git commit --amend
, but forget to change the author of the commit. This way we can use it for OSINT as match of names/emails from git history.
